1930 Singer Treadle 66 Machine

Looking for an appraisal for this Singer Treadlehttps://photos.app.goo.gl/npvFrTTpCLMvEgSH9

 

for an appraisal , maybe a local antique shop could help..

 

Not much value at the moment.
People take the machines out and turn them into side tables, junk the machine.

However, if you have any quilting groups, you might let them know you have one.
They are the only ones I know who tend to actually use them.

 

Quilters like to get them fixed up and running, because those old treadles will sew through anything and everything. I use a modern one with my quilt group that barfs on fleece, for pity's sake. My old Singer did just fine sewing fake fur, and a treadle would do leather.

 

For that machine, right there?

$100 or less. It's not that old, it's not that nice, and it weighs a ton. And all those things affect the price.

 

I have three. One is used as a plant table, one is used for a TV stand and one is still out on the enclosed porch because I haven't been able to get hubby to bring it upstairs to my workroom. I want to put my electric sewing machine on it! I learned to sew on one of them. I used it right up through the 80s when my husband bought the electric for me for Christmas.

 

Dont junk the machine ! a 66 is a workhorse little machine that will stitch till we are all dead if it is in good working order. It has no value as a table, a collector or even a semi-collector like myself would grab that in a heart beat because it is a very late treadle machine. That thing is a $300 machine right now if it was in the Philippines, no joke. Here in the USA , 75-150 is a reasonable price for a 66 treadle machine in my opinion, especially if it is in good condition. Not as valuable as the feather weight , but still a neat quilting machine.
